According to P.M. News, veteran Nollywood star Taiwo Hassan, popularly known as Ogogo, has publicly addressed the reignited feud between industry heavyweights Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham. The actor expressed his disappointment over the recurring friction, suggesting that both women have achieved enough success to rise above petty disputes. He emphasized that at their level of influence, maintaining such a public rivalry is unnecessary.
Punch Newspapers corroborated the report, noting that Ogogo explicitly stated he would not be stepping in as a peacemaker because “such disagreements often escalate beyond control” when they involve deep-seated professional jealousy. The outlet quoted him saying, “They have been greatly favoured and have no justification to be embroiled in disputes.”
Vanguard News also covered the development, highlighting a recent viral video where Akindele allegedly snubbed Abraham at an event, leading to a fresh round of social media unfollowing. They reported that Abraham later posted—and deleted—a vow to stop initiating greetings, with an industry source adding, “the tension between these two box-office queens is currently at an all-time high.”
Echotitbits take:
This standoff matters because Funke and Toyin are the two biggest commercial pillars of modern Nollywood. When they clash, it divides the industry’s marketing machinery and fan bases. Ogogo’s refusal to mediate signals a “hands-off” approach from the elders, suggesting that this rivalry is now so deeply rooted in business competition that only the two actresses can decide to end it. Watch for how this affects collaborative projects in the upcoming 2026 blockbuster season.
